How to Compare Fuel Economy for Small SUVs

The United States Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency has created a website called Fuel Economy.gov where consumers can go to look up EPA estimated miles per gallon on all vehicles sold in the United States. The website allows you to look up multiple vehicles, including small SUVs, and compare their fuel efficiency side by side.
